Installation is the Key

The condition of installation dictates how much suction a pump must create to pump the

product.

It takes 1 inch of vacuum to lift gas 1.5 feet vertically.

To determine the inches of vacuum required to lift the gas in a system, proceed as follows:

1 Measure the distance from the top of the product in the tank to the center of the pumping unit.

See Figure 6-6. Divide the distance by 1.5 to obtain the inches of vacuum required by the

pump to lift the product.

For example: 9 feet of lift requires 6 inches of vacuum by the pump. See Figure 6-6.

Figure 6-6: Amount of Vacuum Required for Pump Suction

It takes 1 inch of vacuum by the pump to overcome the restriction of an angle check valve or

foot valve (not part of the pump, but a necessary part of the installation). See Figure 6-7.
